    1 1/2  cups          chestnuts -- ground
      1/2  cup           whole wheat flour
                         (I used barley flour)
      1/2  cup           nutritional yeast
    4      tablespoons   lemon juice
    1                    potato -- grated
    4      stalks        green onion -- thinly sliced
    2      stalks        celery -- grated
    1                    carrot -- grated
    1      tablespoon    soy sauce -- (orig: 1 tsp salt)
    1      tsp           basil
    1      teaspoon      thyme
    1      teaspoon      sage
    1      tablespoon    fresh rosemary -- or 1 tsp dried
    1 1/2  cups          warm water
                         Sprinkles of cayenne
 
 Prepare chestnuts by cutting an X on the flat side with a sharp knife, then
 roasting in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Shell the nuts and chop
 coarsely.
 
 Measure out 1 1/2 cups then put them in a blender or food processor and
 grind them to a fine powder or paste. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then
 transfer to a loaf pan - sprinkle with cayenne and bake at 350 degrees for
 an hour. Cool completely, unmold, slice thin a serve with french bread or
 lowfat crackers.
 
 "Actually, the cayenne thing was a fortunate mistake - I grabbed it instead
 of the paprika! "
